Pointe-Alexandre rests where the Bay of Chaleur’s deep breath meets the Maritime’s steadfast shore, a place where the land shoulders the sea’s persistent caress. It lies 2.0 km north-west of Île-de-Lamèque, NB (from Île-de-Lamèque, NB: bearing 308°T), and is situated 8.8 km north-north-east of Shippagan. The terrain here is a study in gentle slopes, a nuanced rise from the water's edge inland, hinting at the underlying bedrock that has weathered countless tides. Salt-laced air, sharp and clean, carries the cries of gulls and the distant thrum of engines, a constant reminder of the ocean’s vital pulse. Patches of hardy spruce and fir cling to the soil, their dark green needles a stark contrast to the pale, sun-bleached driftwood scattered along the accessible coves. Even in the lull of a summer afternoon, there’s a sense of watchful waiting, as if the very earth is attuned to the shifting moods of the water. The history of Pointe-Alexandre is as layered as the sediment beneath its surface, a narrative shaped by the bounty and challenge of its coastal home. Fishing has long been the lifeblood, with generations of families drawn to the rich fishing grounds, their weathered boats a familiar sight against the horizon. The scent of brine and drying nets is a lingering perfume, a testament to a past that continues to inform the present economy. While the days of large-scale fishing operations have evolved, the spirit of self-reliance and connection to the sea endures, manifesting in smaller, more sustainable ventures. The landscape itself bears the quiet imprints of past endeavors, from the skeletal remains of old wharves to the sturdy, functional architecture of modern processing plants, all set against the enduring, elemental beauty of the Bay of Chaleur.

À Pointe-Alexandre, l'air marin, chargé d'embruns et du parfum lointain des pins, caresse un rivage où la terre s'avance avec une douce obstination. Le paysage y est sculpté par le va-et-vient des marées, une mosaïque de grèves où les galets racontent des histoires anciennes, et de prairies où l'herbe se courbe sous le souffle constant du Saint-Laurent. L'histoire de Pointe-Alexandre est tissée de celles des Acadiens et des Mi'kmaq, des peuples qui ont su lire les signes du ciel et de l'eau pour y bâtir leurs vies, d'une économie ancrée dans les ressources de la mer et de la forêt. Les jours y déroulent un rythme tranquille, rythmé par le chant des oiseaux marins et le murmure des vagues, une existence où le temps semble s'étirer, comme la lumière du soleil couchant qui s'attarde sur les eaux, peignant le ciel de teintes d'or et de pourpre, une invitation à contempler la beauté simple et profonde de ce coin de pays.
